🧴 Other Finished Lubricant Products These are the end products sold to customers across markets (automotive, industrial, marine, etc.).

🧪 A. Base Stocks
The core oil component of finished lubricants. These are blended with additives.
Base Oil Groups (API / ISO)
• Group I — Solvent refined mineral oil
• Group II — Hydro processed mineral oil (better oxidation stability)
• Group III — Highly hydrocracked (sometimes marketed as synthetic)
• Group IV — PAO (polyalphaolefin) synthetics
• Group V — Esters, silicones, PAG, other synthetics
Products commonly manufactured from base stocks:
• Engine oils
• Gear oils
• Hydraulic oils
• Compressor oils
• Specialty fluids
